Do As I Say, Not As I Do

I guess the laws are for you and me, not them....

Two Congressmen (Pete Stark, D-CA and Eliot Engel, D-NY) have been claiming Maryland real estate as their primary residences so that they can get a tax break. Aren't they supposed to have residency in the state where they are Congressmen?

California congressman Pete Stark has improperly claimed a Maryland lakefront home (assessed at $1.7 million) as his primary residence in order to qualify for a special real estate tax break...

Earlier this month, Congressmen Eliot Engel, a lifelong resident of the Bronx, was outed for claiming the Maryland real estate tax break on his Maryland home (formerly owned by ABC's Ted Koppel and Wonder Woman Lynda Carter) assessed at $938,000.
